Poolside with the Twins

So, we promised some more photos of the girls and their trip to Florida. Of course, any jaunt to the Sunshine State wouldn't be complete without some time in the pool. Luckily, Nana came through and the girls were able to get their splash on in her backyard away from the general population.

Speaking of swimming, we are reminded of a anecdotal story involving Braelyn from the trip that we had to share. We mentioned in the last post that she seemed infatuated with the airplanes themselves while we waited to board our plane (which of course is why we needed to include just one more shot of her looking out the terminal window of our gate). Well, at one stage Braelyn was "stretching her legs" (a.k.a. running shiftily away from where Mom and Dad are so she can test her boundaries). Well, the Southwest terminal in Orlando has a series of mosaic tiles on the floor. For some reason, they really seemed to capture her attention. So, in the middle of her full-out sprint away from Dad, she pauses, drops to the floor, and begins a body motion best described as swimming right on the mosaic tiles. By the time Dad caught up to her, he tried several times to pick her up and put her back on her feet, only to have Braelyn immediately drop to the ground again and begin her 100M freestyle act.

We still aren't sure what was going through her little head, but we now know to try and locate mosaics whenever she's making a break for it!

;)

Okay, as promised here are the photos of Braelyn and Gwendolyn in the special kiddie pool Nana purchased for them (with help from Mom's latest phone gadget, the Retro Camera App)... ENJOY!!!
